Reasons why I screw up when dating
1. I get eager and overly excited when someone shows interest
2. My insecurities tell me i'm not good enough
3. Its easier to sabotage things to avoid getting hurt first
4. The truama I've endured from childhood to adulthood has alienated me. I'm like a wild animal incapable of communicating/ connecting in a "normal" way. I'm a stray in need of tlc.
5. I assume they will hurt me
6. Texting is impersonal and I often misunderstand
7. Getting mixed messages from them makes me panic
8. I am not always understanding but when I try to work on it I overcompensate and come across as "trying to hard" or forcing things
9. I need some kind of reassurance there's an interest
10. I'm too open and honest
11. I overanalyze
12. I've never been raised to be or feel like i'm anything special (my traumas just confirm/ reinforce this)
13. I don't believe or trust most people
14. Sarcasm
15. I frequently put my foot in my mouth
16. I dont have many suitors so when my eagerness kicks in I start to panic and don't know what to do or say
17. When I make mistakes I desperately want to fix them. Even if they're trivial
18. When he kissed me and told me i was pretty i thought that maybe...just maybe i had a chance
19. I take things to personally
20. I'm rusty
21. I've loved but never been in love which I desperately seek/ache for. Which makes me panic and want to rush when someone does show an interest.
22. I'm not dating material
23. They confuse the fuck out of me
24. I wear my heart on my sleeve
25. I can't get them out of my mind.

32. Being an introvert
33. Saying way too much and or wayyy too little there's no in between
